Investment Advisor with First Affirmative Financial Network
My practice focuses completely on socially responsible investment practices. I do have clients very interested in shareholder advocacy practices and concepts.

Laurie - Thanks so much. The newly appointed SEC Investor Advisory Committee will hold its first meeting on Monday (7/27/09). I'd like to get blank votes on their agenda. See http://www.sec.gov/spotlight/investoradvisorycommittee.htm. You might want to get in a statement First Affirmative's priorities for the SEC.
I hope you will also consider sending a comment to the SEC supporting our petition to prevent blank votes by retail shareowners from automatically turning into votes for management.
See http://www.corpgov.net/news/news.html#BlankVotes Your involvement could really help move the initiative forward. I'd like to ensure it is at least on the table with the proxy “plumbing” issues.
